continue to exist for ever and which are directly perceptible to the eyes, at all
times. SrI BhaTTarquotes from the sAttvata samhitA - bimba AkRtyA
AtmanA bimbe samAgamyaavatisThate - "He assumes a form similar to that of
the image (fashioned by us), enters into it and remains there". The reference
